About This Spot
Launch area is spacious, easy to launch and easy to stay airborne using dynamic lift. When enough height, it is possible to hop to the adjacent hill for longer ridge soaring.
This site is very suitable for tandem flights for its spacious launch area, easy dynamic lifts for long airtime and spacious LZ.
This is a newly developed site, please expect some time for the grass at the launch area to grow properly though the wind condition is good to fly all year long (well except when it rains during monsoon season).
Takeoff altitude: 50m

Known Hazards
This area is situated adjacent to military airforce area and during their training, expect some jet buzzing by but the altitude difference wouldn't be something that you need to worry about - it's very hard to get beyond 1000ft at this hill using dynamic lift. There's no known thermal flights here.
No hazard reports. This spot appears to be clear!
No upcoming meetups at this spot.
